Vaguely I have no real respect for those guys. Reminded me of Scientology in a way. So these folks are similar then? That's all I would need to know and just let it go. Thanks Enigma nowhereman is Enigma?! It seems bears are easily confused.

Greetings..
Hi Nowhereman: Yes, this a forum where selfs gather to tell each other there are no 'selfs', to intimidate and provoke those that don't agree with the belief that there are no selfs.. this is quite odd, considering each individual self posting on this forum exerts their unique 'self-force' on the collective happening that is this forum.. i'm sure you read the name, 'Spiritualteacher.org', and the welcome for "anyone with a sincere interest in a spiritual path or teacher", but you'll find that there is a core group of members that try to enforce the oneness/non-duality belief as the forum's approved belief.. i wish you well in you adventure at ST.. If you are inclined toward a belief in oneness/non-duality, you will find kindred spirits, though some may inclined to act contrary to the notion of 'oneness'..
On a brighter note, there are some people here interested in just looking, just seeing what is actually happening, without attaching to conceptual imagery 'about' the happening.. in any case, welcome..
Be well..

Thanks tzujanli,
Yes it seems like a site with supportive folks which is always a refreshing look. I am quite content with my teacher James Swartz. I been around the so called neo-advaita movement for years and when I met James(Ram) it all became clear. His book How to Attain Enlightenment is probably one if not the best book I ever read on the issues of "Self" Vedanta well studied properly removes all ignorance to the point where you absolutely know who you are. It's a teaching of true understanding not from the mind as the mind is grosser than the Self so Self can never be known by the mind. Still it's a understanding that is beyond the mind. However when we use words we use concepts which are not bad or good. If the concept is aligned with the truth then no suffering happens and when not aligned then suffering can come. Much love Nowhereman

Thank you and I have none whatsoever affiliation with said website. I only wished to know if anyone here familiar with these folks. They seem pretty radical to me not that it's a bad thing. I really don't know more than this. If it's a off topic for this site I will respect that also. Just curious I myself am a student of Vedanta and James Swartz is my teacher. Thank you Nowhereman They're p*ssycats over there , folks lose their mind all the time on this forum, even the most recent moderator here has thrown in the towel, its the wild wild west without the horses, but a lot of other wild life, giraffes , frogs, smart ass dogs hehe. I love that dog....welcome to the forum, go get the popcorn...... Haha the bad word filter is even losing it, it made me say vaginacats for crying out loud..

Has anyone here heard of this group? Liberation unleashed
They seem to foster a lot of well know people in the non dual community. There whole deal is to use one of their guides to show you that there never was such a thing as the "Self" Thanks Nowhereman Welcome 'man.
